Love That Doesn't Act Isn't Love

People have spent thousands of years trying to figure out what it takes to get into heaven. Christ followers over the centuries have devoted their lives to living in a manner so that they’ll be rewarded with eternal life when they die. How then is it that we’ve all missed the point for so long, especially when Jesus laid it out for us so simply? He told us to love God first, love people second, and lastly, though not quite so obvious, to love ourselves. This is all we need to do (keyword there is ‘do’). This is all we need to do, but it is something that many have simply not fully understood, or have twisted to mean something that God did not intend for it to mean. Love is an action. We can’t claim to love Jesus and live in indifference doing nothing about the broken world around us. Choose to do love.
